We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have "Who We Are", "What We Do", "Essential Functions", "Knowledge and Skills / Technology Used", "Typical Education", "Licenses or Certificates", "Typical Range of Experience", "Pay Range", "What We Offer". Need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to decide which sections map.
- About the role: could be "Who We Are" and "What We Do" combined? Probably "About the role" includes description of role and company. We'll put a paragraph summarizing who we are and what we do.
- Responsibilities: list of essential functions (duties). Use
- .
- Requirements: could be Knowledge and Skills / Technology Used, Typical Education, Licenses or Certificates, Typical Range of Experience. Might combine into Requirements and Qualifications. But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can decide to use Requirements for education/experience, Qualifications for certifications, Skills for technical skills. Or combine.
We must not create sections with filler. We have Pay Range specified, so include Pay section. Benefits: we have "What We Offer" describing benefits; include Benefits section. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit.
We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from each part.
Let's extract:
Who We Are: paragraph about First American, people-first culture, accolades.
What We Do: description of role: participates in design, development, configuration, testing, debugging, deployment, maintenance of technical solutions supporting HR business applications. Supports enterprise-wide Workday implementations and integrations with vendor and company-specific applications. The HRIS Architect works as part of the HRIS technical team supporting Workday technical administration, integrations, reporting, security, and related technical solutions. The role provides hands-on development opportunities across technologies including Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB), Workday Studio, Cloud Connect, Web Services, Workday Reporting, and other Workday platform capabilities. This position requires a strong technical foundation, curiosity, problem-solving ability, and a desire to continuously expand technical knowledge within the Workday ecosystem. The individual may also have opportunities to learn and develop applications using Workday Extend. Previous Workday Extend experience is beneficial but is not required for the position. Candidates should demonstrate an interest and ability to learn new Workday development technologies as the platform evolves.
Essential Functions: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). We'll convert each sentence to
- .
Knowledge and Skills / Technology Used: list of knowledge/skills.
Typical Education: Bachelor’s degree ... or equivalent.
Licenses or Certificates: Workday certifications preferred but not required; Workday training or demonstrated hands-on Workday development experience desirable; Workday Extend training or certification considered a plus but not required; Integration, cloud, software development, or related technical certifications considered a plus.

What We Offer: benefits package: medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO/paid sick leave, employee stock purchase plan, inclusive culture etc.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove the Fair Chance Ordinance paragraph etc. Also remove "For more information, please visit www.careers.firstam.com." That's maybe okay but it's not substantive? It's a link; could be considered boilerplate? Probably remove.
We must not repeat job title. Not present.
